    Thanks so much for your prayers and thoughts!  It means a lot to me.

    I saw the surgeon yesterday and I am scheduled for a needle biopsy tomorrow evening.  I won't know the results of the test until early next week.  I like my surgeon, though.  He seems very competent and is very up to date with technology.  I had been doing some research on the steps that are taken to rule out breast cancer and so I kind of knew the standard of treatment.  This is a really important thing when you live in a small town...sometimes the selection of doctors is subpar in a smaller place.  I'm happy with this guy so far.

    Strange...the places my mind can take me when something like this is happening.  I have noticed some little control issues popping up for me.  Little things like Jim telling me to do something and me saying, I really need to not be told what to do right now.  Jim is very understanding about all of it, too.  I recognize that it's about the uncertainty that I'm facing that makes me feel helpless.  But you know, I feel okay for the most part.  I know that in some strange way, everything will be okay no matter the outcome. 

    I will post an update as soon as I know something.  


    In the meantime, here is a picture of what happens when your toaster oven malfunctions and you're trying to cure polymer clay!

  • Thanks for the update. I would guess that the worse thing about it is the waiting and not knowing. But I find that I can accept things much better, if I take it one day at a time. I know that you will have to make your own judgements on this, but I hope that it helps to know that others do care.

    My thoughts and prayers remain with you.

  • i agree with mountain girl...the waiting is the worst. my s.i.l. just went through this, and finished up only a few days before Christmas. my best wishes and prayers are with you. by the way, love your artwork.

    ryc: thank you for comments on my site.

  • Poor lil turdlelies... they are so purdy too.  Thanks for the update, Girlie.  You said, "I have noticed some little control issues popping up for me."  Boy, howdy, do I know what you mean!  Sounds like your situation was handled more graciously than mine (thanks to me.)  I will keep praying for your peace and for the doctors (and your confidence in them cos that matters too!) (((LOVE&HUGS!)))

  • Hang in there girlie. I've got my fingers crossed for you.
